One object of theinvention is 'to provide a device of this characterformed ofa single piece of suitable material, for example cardboard orthe like, and embodying novel and improved vfeatures of constructionwhereby',

the Vde-vicecan be blanked out of sheet material and folded to form abody portion and a bracket arm for connecting the body portion to anarticle, so that the bracket shall be positively rigidly held in properposition to engage the article and shall positivelyV hold the tagagainst unfolding or collapse.

Other objects are to provide a formed of a single piece of material andcom- Y prising a body portion including two intef grally connectedsuperposed sections one of which has a liap at a point oppositetheconnection of the two sections, the other section having a slot throughwhich the free end of the flap is inserted between the ltwo sections, iv A posed relation, asshown-,-n Figure :2 `of the drawing... vvTheYflap-4 is Y.then bent ,along `-the dines., 9 andi@ ..toward xthe bodyportionof .the ,tagiacross the .edge ofithe -`o posite b ody section 1into a position general y illustrated Visby the heavyfdot and dash.lines in Figure 2 and said flap having two spaced and alined openings toreceive an article to which the tag is to be applied; to vprovide a tagof this character in'which the:-

In attaching the .tagr to the pencil, the pencil is slippedthrough the openings 12 and 13 and the frictional engagement of theedges of the opening upon the pencil hold the tag in the desiredposition. -f

Gbviously the shape of the body sections l and 2 inay be Vwidely variedaccording to the purpose for whichV the tag is to be used, and the shapeand size ofthe openings 12 and 13 in the bracket arm may also be varied.Also, the tag can be formed of several' separate pieces instead of inone piece as described. y

Therefore, ity will be understood that-while I have shown the tagasembodying certain details of construction, and as applied to a 'certainuse, the invention may be embodied in other details of construction" andthe tag used in connection with other articles, withoutdepa'rting fromthe spirit or scope of the invention.

Having thus described the invention, what Iclaiinis: 1 V
